This paper addresses the complexity of computing the smallest-radius infinite cylinder that encloses an input set of n points in 3-space. We show that the problem can be solved in...
We present a generalization of Welzl's smallest enclosing disk algorithm [E. Welzl, Smallest enclosing disks (balls and ellipsoids), in: New Results and New Trends in Compute...
Given a set of n points P = {p1, p2, . . . , pn} in the plane, we show how to preprocess P such that for any query line segment L we can report in O(log n) time the smallest enclo...
Here we propose an efficient algorithm for computing the smallest enclosing circle whose center is constrained to lie on a query line segment. Our algorithm preprocesses a given s...
